Breast self-examination
is not as reliable as mammography or physical examination of the breasts
in finding breast cancer. But, doing it regularly helps you to learn what
is normal for your breasts and the you will be able to notice any changes.
The need to do BSE becomes
more important with age, especially after 40. It should be done each
month at the same time, even after menopause. The Canadian Cancer
Society has a pamphlet on BSE that you might find helpful.
Copies are available at
Pharmasave in the HomeHealthcare section.
